Chapter 106 Evidence of Guilt
At the sound of Madame Wang's order, she walked over to the two strong mothers-in-law, dragged the jade out like a rabbit, tied it tightly with a rope, and threw it to the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yu'er knelt on the ground trembling uncontrollably, and didn't dare to look up at Mrs. Wang.
The discerning people in the hall can see clearly: this Yu'er and Lian'er are the big maids who married into the Xu Mansion with Su Yuan at the beginning, if it weren't for Su Yuan's control of Xu Fu to death and didn't let him contact other women, these two maids would have become aunts a long time ago. However, they were not dissatisfied, and they could be regarded as people who were desperate for Su Yuan. After Zi Jin was beaten, she confessed to Yu'er, which means that today's events, nine times out of ten, were instructed by Su Yuan. Moreover, no one would find it strange that Su Yuan would do this kind of thing: it should have been her husband's eldest grandson, but there has been no movement for three years, how can she swallow this evil breath?
Xu Yi and his wife and Mrs. Wang looked at Su Yuan with a little hostility: they actually wanted to murder their most precious grandson, Mrs. Wang is still Xu Qian's wife, the main mother of Xu Mansion, how can she tolerate a daughter-in-law like Su Yuan?
Su Yuan's mind was spinning quickly: she wanted to clear up her involvement, and it was nothing to be suspected. Such a thing would have happened, and naturally someone would have suspected her. But she must not admit her guilt, once she admits her guilt, even if the Xu Mansion beats her to death, she deserves it. How could she be willing to sit still?
Seeing that Su Yuan's face was red and white for a while, Dong Xiao smiled to himself: Sure enough, it was her sister-in-law who was directing people behind her back. I really didn't expect that when she returned home, her sister-in-law used a trick to use her to harm others. Today, she couldn't let her father spare this vicious femme fatale.
Mrs. Wang asked in a stern tone with a straight face: "Yu'er, you are so bold to bribe Zijin to murder our young aunt and grandmother and Brother Cheng. Do you think you've got two heads? ”
Yu'er knelt on the ground and shouted in horror: "Madam! Wronged, the slave really didn't do those things, and asked the lady not to listen to the lie. "She just refuses to admit it now, that's human nature, and admitting it will inevitably cause her to suffer from flesh and skin.
Madame Wang squinted her eyes, trying her best to suppress her anger, she turned her gaze to Zi Jin, who was lying on the ground and dying: "This person doesn't admit it, what proof do you have to show that it was indeed a thousand silver coins given to you by Yu'er?" Say, If you can tell it, Mrs. Ben will not only spare your capital sin, but also reward you with money to redeem yourself and return home. ”
When Zi Jin heard this, she hurriedly thought about it desperately and said, "By the way, Yu'er...... When the money was given, it was given along with the money bag, but the slave did not dare to use it, so she put the money bag on the bed. ”
"Money bags?" Mrs. Wang immediately instructed the two maids, "Hurry up to Zi Jin's room and find me the money bag under the bed!" The two maids led the way out of the hall.
Dong Xiao sat quietly, she quietly observed Su Yuan and Yu'er's expressions: as soon as they heard about the money bag, the master and servant instantly flashed a trace of extremely panicked expressions, but soon calmed down again. Dong Xiaoyou frowned, and thought about it carefully: It seems that they are not very worried about what information the money bag will reveal. It didn't matter, she smiled slightly: she was currently in the perspective of a bystander, and she believed that it would be impossible for the perpetrators to completely erase the evidence.
It wasn't long before the two maids returned to the hall with their money bags: there were still a thousand silver coins in it. But it's just a sewn money bag, and the fabric used is also very ordinary, and it looks like a money bag bought casually on the street. If it was sewn by Su Yuan himself or sewn with the fabric in Su Yuan's room, it could be regarded as a decisive evidence. But this money bag ...... It's really not very special.
Su Yuan and Yu'er's expressions were also relaxed: both of them understood that there was nothing to prove their identities in such an ordinary money bag.
Yu'er looked at the money bag and said with an aggrieved expression: "Madam, please take a closer look." Money bags with such a texture can be bought everywhere outside, and the entire Xu Mansion is afraid that many subordinates have it, how can it be said that this is a slave? ”
When Mrs. Wang saw this, her face became more and more ugly: the person who tried to murder her grandson was close at hand, but she could not find evidence that could convince her to confess her guilt! She gritted her teeth and looked at Yu'er, even if she couldn't find any evidence today, she would never spare this dead girl. It's just a pity...... Originally, I wanted to follow the vine and catch the real instructor. Thinking of this, she squinted at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was actually very worried in her heart, in order to cover her panic, she picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. In fact, her hand holding the teacup was still a little shaky, but she still tried her best not to let the tea in the teacup spill. Otherwise, it would make everyone see that her heart was empty.
If Mrs. Wang wanted to find out where the 1,000 silver money came from, then Su Yuan would not be worried: because it was her dowry, and the Xu Mansion could not casually ask about her dowry money, so she was not worried about Mrs. Wang's problem of checking the money.
Dong Xiaoyou smiled lightly at the maid who was holding the money bag: "Take the money bag and I'll take a look." ”
When Su Yuan heard this, she glanced at Dong Xiaoyou angrily: What does this girl want to do? She still didn't believe that this Xu Siya could see anything.
Dong Xiaoyou took the money bag from the maid's hand, and looked at it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed nothing out of the ordinary, except for the silver coin, there was no other object left. specially used a money bag that can be bought everywhere on the street to buy the maid, which shows that her sister-in-law Su Yuan is really meticulous. Because if the plan had succeeded, that violet girl would not have been caught at all. Being able to find a way out for failure in advance shows that Su Yuan's scheming is quite spicy. It's no wonder that he always lost to her in the past - although they didn't have any vital interests to compete with each other at all, Su Yuan just couldn't get used to her and couldn't get along with her.
However, Dong Xiaoyou firmly believes that there must be loopholes in this that she can find! Because from the time Liu Yi, the king of Luling, explained to the Xu Mansion to arrange to welcome Dong Xiaoyou back to visit relatives, there was only one day in total. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for Su Yuan to plan an absolutely perfect way to harm people.
Dong Xiaoyou brought the money bag close to his nose and sniffed the smell...... Suddenly, a very strange smile appeared on her face. Su Yuan, who had been carefully observing Dong Xiaoyou's movements, suddenly turned pale.
During the Han Dynasty, people often liked to put some fragrant things into the brocade bag or money bag, and Dong Xiaoyou understood: her sister-in-law generally likes to use different dragon incense from others: that is, orchid grass is added to the general dragon fragrance incense, although this fragrance is not strong, but it is also very unique. She remembered that her second sister Xu Jiang said that she didn't like this taste very much.
In fact, because the sister-in-law is a female dependent, in the entire Xu Mansion, I am afraid that only the eldest brother Xu Fu is most familiar with this fragrance...... In addition, Mrs. Wang and the two aunts who often meet may also know.
Dong Xiaoyou turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang, and smiled charmingly: "Madam, although the incense in this money bag has been deliberately washed away, there is still something left...... Why don't you smell it? Sure enough, the time is too short and the sister-in-law is missing, even if she has washed it, but the fragrance inside is not so easy to wash away. Because the sister-in-law's house was smoked all day long, the money bag had long been infiltrated into the fabric by the fragrance.
The maid sent the money bag to Mrs. Wang again, Mrs. Wang sniffed it, and naturally understood whose fragrance it was, she sneered and threw the money bag in front of Su Yuan: "What's going on?" Eldest daughter-in-law, you explain it to me! ”
Su Yuan's face turned like ashes, she immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "My daughter-in-law definitely doesn't have the heart to murder my young aunt and grandmother and Brother Cheng!" This must be someone framing the daughter-in-law, and please ask the wife...... Please don't blame the good people, Madame! ”
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Good person? ”
Xu Fu looked at Su Yuan with a complicated expression, after all, it was his wife, although she was a little arrogant on weekdays, she had always known the rules and abided by etiquette. He believed that his wife, even if she was not very virtuous, was not a wicked person with evil thoughts.
So, Xu Fu also knelt on the ground: "My son believes in her, and I hope that Mrs. will investigate carefully, so as not to suspect my wife because of a little aroma." ”
Dong Xiaoyou looked at her eldest brother Xu Fu with some regret: Alas, this man is honest and dutiful, and he can't guess how vicious his wife's heart will be. That's right, how many men think that there are only some verbal conflicts between women, but they don't know that they can fight in their backyards.
"Madam," Dong Xiaoyou looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and also interceded for them: "Human life is at stake, I hope Madam will not blame the sister-in-law." ”
Su Yuan paused for a moment: How could this damn girl speak for herself? What kind of medicine does she sell in her gourd, Su Yuan is not a fool, she will not believe that Xu Rong, who has always had a bad relationship with her, and even has a-for-tat relationship, will sincerely intercede for herself at this time. She glanced at Xu Fu with disdain, and found that his expression when he looked at Xu Rong revealed gratitude: Only this stupid man would believe it, no wonder he has been a county official for so many years, and he has not mixed up his personal appearance.
Of course Dong Xiaoyou will not really speak for Su Yuan, Longsheng incense and orchid grass are not cheap spices, and the purchase of these by the Xu Mansion is recorded in the account books, even if each yard goes out to buy it by itself, it is also a record of the account room when he comes back. Therefore, you only need to take the records of the account room and check them carefully, and you can know if there is anyone else who has bought bluegrass and dragon incense besides Su Yuan. Because it is impossible for the men and elders of the Xu family to use such incense, no matter how you calculate it, it seems that Su Yuan will not be able to escape.
Dong Xiaoyou was just about to remind Mrs. Wang about the tent, but Mrs. Wang spoke in advance: "Rong'er, you are a good boy, Mrs. Ben understands." She looked at Dong Xiaoyou lovingly and sighed. Then his eyes became fierce again, "That wicked man naturally can't escape." The incense used by the eldest daughter-in-law is not something that everyone in this house can use. Moreover, this money bag has been washed with water, but there is still a residual fragrance, I am afraid that it has been placed in the eldest daughter-in-law's room for no less than a month......" she said angrily, "still not honest? Do you want Mrs. Ben to let the account keeper take the account book immediately? ”
Su Yuan shuddered: It's over, Mrs. Wang knows everything! At the moment, she has no way out, and the only strategy is: abandon the car to protect the handsome! Only to push Yu'er out. Yu'er, this girl is much more clever than Lian'er, and she has been her big girl for many years, it is indeed a pity to discard her, but there is no way to do it now, and it is better to throw Yu'er out than to bear the charge of murder herself.
Dong Xiaoyou didn't expect that what she originally planned to say was said by Mrs. Wang, and she was suddenly a little surprised: This Mrs. Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she is worthy of being a person who has been in charge of the Xu Mansion for so many years.
At this moment, even Xu Fu looked at Su Yuan with suspicious eyes: Could it be that his wife is really the one who tried to kill Brother Cheng and his fourth sister?
Facing everyone's naked questioning gaze, Su Yuan couldn't wait any longer, she immediately pretended to suddenly understand something, and shouted at Yu'er: "Yu'er! You and I have been together for so many years, like sisters, why do you want to harm me? ”
